Fun Festivals To Get You Through Winter In CO

While some of us loathe everything about Winter, others realize this is when to get in on at least half of the fun Colorado offers.  Sometimes a simple staycation can make us feel almost perfect.  Other times, we would give anything for some actual excitement, so keep this page bookmarked!

*You seldom hear the words "Aspen" and "free" in the same sentence, but the 12 Days of Aspen will take you there, through December 31st.

*Estes in the Winter is way less crowded than in the Summer!  Just one reason the Estes Park Winter Festival on January 14-15th is a major delight.

*Get fireworks, live music, and tons more at both Steamboat and Winter Park's winter carnivals in February.

*Leadville, known for having rowdy and unique celebrations throughout the year, will fascinate with its Ski Joring Festival in March.  (Don't worry:  I had to find out what ski joring is, too.)

That's only the tip of the... uh... avalanche?  See a bunch more Colorado wintertime festivals here.
